I was lucky enough to be on a state championship  high school ski team, and then I often skied 30-plus days a year. I took my good health for granted until I suffered a traumatic brain injury after a helmetless fall in 1998. Twenty-six years later I am still adjusting to my disability. Thank God […]

Lewiston School Committee members should be ashamed of themselves for thinking that the citizens of this city are unable to realize that the little amount of reduction in the proposed school budget is going to make a difference in the estimated tax increase. The amount recommended is a drop in the bucket for this size […]

I encourage all Lewiston voters to turn out and vote “yes” on the school budget referendum June 11. Lewiston has a gift that would be the envy of many communities: a growing student population. The young folks in our schools today will become the workers and entrepreneurs growing Lewiston’s economy tomorrow. Providing students with a […]

Recent news has involved an issue in regard to Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito and his wife. It involves the display of a flag displayed on their property. The flag is not that of this country, U.S.A., but rather one that dates back to the Revolutionary War and addresses an “Appeal to Heaven.” It has […]

Donald Trump filed 62 failed lawsuits alleging election fraud. He fueled mistrust in our electoral system from the beginning of his campaigning. He instigated a violent insurrection to prevent the peaceful transfer of power for the first time in U.S. history. Mitch McConnell proclaimed him “practically and morally responsible.” A majority of the Senate voted […]

A politician who won’t appear at his own party’s convention is a coward, not a man. U.S. Rep. Jared Golden knew when the Maine Democrats met, there would be protestors calling him out for his unwavering support for Israel’s war on Gaza. So he came up with an excuse and provided a boilerplate video instead. […]

The measured response to Donald Trump’s conviction from Maine Senate Minority Leader Trey Stewart was heartening. As reported in the June 1 Sun Journal, he believes it is too early to judge the verdict since the case is likely to be appealed, reflecting continued faith in our judicial system. While Trump supporters are understandably upset, […]

“Sometimes I wonder how did we get here, all we ever hear is noise.” Those are the lyrics to Kenny Chesney’s song “Noise,” and boy is it so true these days. If it’s not loud mufflers on motorcycles and vehicles, it’s the music blaring inside those cars, trucks, and even bikes. Do people just want […]

The two biggest mistakes the residents of Lewiston/Auburn can make this year are the failure to vote, and to vote for big-money funded Republicans in local, state and federal elections. Two big reasons that directly effect each of us. First, billionaires like Mount Desert Republican billionaire Leonard Leo is investing millions in state elections to […]

I am writing in support of Guy Lebida (R) for state House District 98. Guy is a veteran and private business owner, and a supporter of our Second Amendment rights and fiscal responsibility. House District 98 is in desperate need of someone who will actually fulfill the requirements of the office, which is to represent […]
